I have a user case where i would like to give the user the option to have the gallery images stored privately or publically. Currently the gallery images and other fields are locked, and the uploaded files are stored in the publically accessible file system.

Yep, that would be a nice feature to have. If you have more specifics on how you'd like to implement it, it *might* happen sooner. It's not on Acquia's immediate roadmap, but a lot of people are getting involved, so a wireframe or two might help that process along.

Best,

Here we are defining public as anonymous, and private as authenticated users, right? I would very much like to see this feature implemented as well, has anything happened here?

Best regards,

@ #2 AO Is this not possible thru the roles permissions settings?

@Renegadez: Not to my knowledge, as what I want is the ability to selectively make content public or private. Either per gallery or per media added to a gallery, maybe even both. Drupal has two methods of storing files, either public or private, and you can normally select which one you want to use.. but with the galleries here you cannot, because it's locked to public.

Best regards,
Ao

I have a similar request, where I'd like to be able to use the field_permissions module to lock down certain field on the media gallery content type to specific roles. However, because the fields are locked, field_permissions is unable to do it's thing.

Attached patch adds a new settings page, which allows fields to be locked/unlocked. There may be a better way to store the override data than in system variables, but with this applied you can unlock individual fields and then you are able to adjust their settings.

Guys - you may want to check out this Drupal core issue, where there is a patch that will unlock the widget settings for locked fields - #806102: Locked fields can change the widget but not settings
